I've been meaning to do another non-warming, Global Warming alert post.

It's all bullshit, leftists. Merely propaganda to fill the void of the Communist utopia that left a vacancy in your souls 25 years ago. And an attempt to fill that vacancy with more Communist goodness- the control of the means of production by the government, any government.

When your science heroes have all been busted lying about the data of their 'science' (past temperatures), do yourself a favor and call it a day. Mongs.

“The study findings may seem counter-intuitive given that sea level has been rising in the region over the past half century, but the dominant mode of change over that time on Tuvalu has been expansion, not erosion.”

All the experts, the UN, the Greens and the SJWs lied to you.

By saying what your linked article says.
Cretin.

פולאר הוא שקרן - I want my fucking money back - The only reason you continue to participate is because you hate me personally.

The main story that came up was from 2004. It said that Tuvalu has a lot of environmental problems and is in trouble from climate change, but that it is not necessarily going to be covered by rising sea levels or erode away - that it is as likely to expand as it is to erode; it's a dynamic sort of island.

The story also pointed out that politicians were trying to get money out of the worst offenders for emissions causing climate change, and they used the concern that rising sea levels might erode their islands away - but that was the politicians. It was very clear that the scientific community did not say it was the likely scenario.

After reading that story, I read the one linked in this OP.

They both say the same thing. So what was being said about Tuvalu in 2004, by the scientific community, is the same thing as what is being said today by the scientific community.

In layman terms it sounds like the rising sea levels have been of major concern to many small islands. Since they don't float, what had been occurring and was expected to continue to occur was that they would basically sink under the rising sea level.

What has happened in some cases is that some of these islands, particularly where there isn't a lot of man-made (immovable) infrastructure are actually increasing in size because they are changing shape and have increased sedimentation, particularly where reefs are being destroyed.

So scientists are learning how nature is, in some cases, reacting differently to rising sea levels caused by climate change.

This is some sort of 'gotcha' moment for our resident climate change denier? Po embarrasses himself yet again.

I only skimmed the article but will link to it in case anyone else is actually interested.

Here's a partial list of the global warmists who should apologise for yet another fake scare, including Al Gore, of course, who in his Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth wailed about rising seas and claimed: "that's why the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand”. Read on.

In fact, warned Al Gore in his An Inconvenient Truth, so dire was this danger that “the citizens of these Pacific nations have all had to evacuate to New Zealand”....

Take Prof Mohammed Dore, an environmental economist from Canada’s Brock University, who three years ago declared Tuvalu uninhabited already. “In fact, there is an island called Tuvalu which was completely evacuated and New Zealand accepted all the residents because of sea level rising,” he wrote, much to the surprise of the island’s 12,000 residents, who have actually doubled their number in the past three decades, there being little else to do in the middle of the ocean....

Tuvalu’s prime minister in 2003 went to the United Nations to present a bill to the guilty Westerners he insisted were causing the seas to drown his home. He really laid it on thick: “The threat is real and serious, and is of no difference to a slow and insidious form of terrorism against us.” ...

Rob Gell, the TV weatherman, ... in 2008 launched an exhibition at Melbourne’s Immigration Museum dedicated to convincing the gullible that we should take in all these soggy Tuvaluans before the waves lapped over their heads. It was virtually a “foregone conclusion” that Tuvalu would be uninhabitable “within the next 50 years”, he claimed.

Naturally, Labor signed up to the scare... It even produced a “Pacific climate change plan” which promised help to global warming “refugees” as they fled low-lying island states such as Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu.

Said Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese: “The alternative to that is to say, and I don’t think any Australian would accept this, that were going to sit by while people literally drown.”

All of which culminated in the tearful plea from Tuvalu’s delegate, Ian Fry, at the UN’s great warmist gathering at Copenhagen [in 2015]... “I woke up this morning crying, and that’s not easy for a grown man to admit ... The fate of my country rests in your hands.”
